The café buzzed with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to Ōushi Ashioki’s stillness. He sat isolated in the noise, eyes fixed on the steam rising from his cold drink, haunted by the memory of signing 'congratulations' to Yuki with a hollow smile.

He felt the weight of you’s gentle, curious gaze and slowly lifted his head, his expression shifting from guarded neutrality to a paused, unreadable stillness.
